System, help me be an empress

Chapter 83
In Jinyang City at the end of July, the heat is in full swing, and the scorching sun seems to melt the earth at any moment.The noisy cicadas on the tree have become listless, and only some people are left on the road who are constantly running for their lives, wiping the sweat from their foreheads over and over again.

Xu Youxi rode a horse and led the city guards stationed at the gate of Jinyang City to surround the Jinyang government office in a mighty way.

This way, no one dares to stop;

Menacing, all avoid the edge!

This posture attracted countless people to watch, and everyone couldn't figure out what happened in this government office!
Not long ago, the head of the yamen servant who was serving tea beside Xu Youxi suddenly panicked when he saw this situation: "My lord, you, this is..."

"Where's your prefect?"

The head of the yamen servant said with a bitter face, "The magistrate is still working outside."

"Oh." Xu Youxi rolled over and dismounted, "How do I get to the prison in the government office, lead the way."

The head of the yamen servant looked hesitant, but as soon as his eyes met the expressionless Xu Ling, his heart turned cold: "Yes, the villain will lead the way."

The prison in Jinyang Prefecture Yamen was built above the ground, and there seems to be no dungeon.

But Xu Youxi's intuition was wrong, until she saw the 'arrow' that disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared again, and she immediately followed.

'Arrow' wandered around the government office for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a wooden door locked by a copper lock the size of a palm.

"Remove the lock!"

Xu Youxi ordered.

"It's absolutely impossible, my lord." The head of the yamen servant was so excited that he knelt down, "The prisoners here are all vicious people. If this lock is opened, what should we do if the prisoners inside offend your lord? !"

"Oh, it's extremely vicious, I haven't seen it before." Xu Youxi remained expressionless.

Xu Ling stepped forward and first pulled the lock hard, but it didn't move. He hacked a few times with a knife, but it didn't move. Then he knocked on the wooden door with his hand, frowning slightly: "My lord, there are It is made of copper, and the lock is also made of a special material, which is extremely difficult to break."

"May I try it, sir?"

The general guarding the city of Jinyang suddenly stood up and asked.

"Well, you go."

The general who defended the city stepped forward and held both ends of the copper lock with both hands, and began to exert force until his whole face turned red, and finally with a roar, the lock broke in two.

Seeing Xu Youxi's surprised gaze, the general lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I have grown stronger since I was a child."

"Do you recognize me?"

Xu Youxi was a little surprised, no wonder the city defender was so obedient, as soon as she took out the token, the other party immediately obeyed.

"Yes, I am one of the lieutenants of General Yao Desheng, and I was honored to participate in the Battle of Shangjing." Qin Zhuangshu half-kneeled, respectful.

"Young man is fine, what's your name?"

"Minister Qin Zhuangshu, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Xu Youxi memorized this name, and the next moment, the door in front of him was knocked open by Jin Yiwei. Xu Ling carried the head of the yamen who was completely frightened by the word "Your Majesty" to the front to open the way, and Xu Youxi followed behind them.

Soon the road leads underground.

Along the way, the rotten musty smell mixed with the stench of blood is really disgusting.

Going a little further, Xu Youxi could see many shelves through the candlelight, and these shelves were filled with all kinds of blood-stained instruments of torture.

Jin Yiwei Xu Ling was originally the commander of Beizhen Fusi. They have the imperial prison approved by the emperor, and they are usually exposed to some bloody trial methods.But he never thought that the small prefect of Jinyang would hide a lynching prison with such complete torture equipment.

This is a live grab?
Xu Ling was still a little worried about whether His Majesty would be frightened, but when he turned his head in worry, he realized that His Majesty still didn't change his face, and even compared Jin Yiwei who was behind her.

Gee.

Your Majesty deserves to be His Majesty.

The more Xu Youxi walked forward, the more the 'arrow' leading the way in front of her trembled.

Although there are many instruments of torture in the dungeon, there are only five cells in total, and there is only one prisoner currently being held.

The arrow quickly rushed to the prisoner, turning into a white halo, surrounding the man who was lying on the ground covered in blood and whose life and death were unknown.

Jin Yiwei Xu Ling stepped forward and took a knife to cut off the iron lock on the cell, opened the cell door, and knelt down to observe the situation of the prisoners on the ground.

"Your Majesty, there is still breath." Xu Lingkuai said.

"You prefect of Jinyang are really powerful."

Xu Youxi looked at the yamen servant who was so frightened that his legs limp and collapsed to the ground with cold eyes.

"What crime did this person commit? The Ministry of Criminal Justice has not yet tried it, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not participated in the review, and the Dali Temple has not yet approved the trial. The prisoner will be beaten to death by your Jinyang Mansion soon!"

"Haven't you read "The Great Law"? Can magistrates abuse lynching! This is different from deliberate murder!"

"Has the private prison been reported to the imperial court! The prefect of Jinyang is going to shake the sky!"

Xu Youxi held back his anger: "Qin Zhuangshu, you brought the prefect of Jinyang here, and I will interrogate him personally."

[Prefect of Jinyang: Ning Kun]

Integrity: 2.5%; Efficiency: 50%; Loyalty: 25%; Policy: 29%
Xu Youxi couldn't help but wonder, this Jingcha year has been inspected for several months, how can this kind of guy still dance well!

Can Yu Tan do it?
"Your Majesty, this man is awake." Xu Ling helped him up.

"What's your name? Why are you wronged!" Xu Youxi asked quickly.

"Iron, iron ore. Can't...can't be sold."

The man's voice was intermittent, and he could only vaguely hear a few vague words. After he finished speaking, he passed out again.

"Xu Ling sent him out to see a doctor. No matter what, he had to save his life."

"Yes."

Jin Yiwei who was following Xu Youxi asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the air here is dirty, which is not good for the dragon's body. You should leave this place first."

"Wait for Xu Ling to send people out first. The rest of the people will continue to search here and take away all valuable evidence."

Not long after Xu Youxi left the dungeon, Qin Zhuangshu came back with Ning Kun, the prefect of Jinyang, and a few of his cronies.

"Your Majesty, someone brought it to you!"

The magistrate Ning Kun was on the fat side, especially with a big belly. He was wearing very thin silk clothes and looked flustered.

"Ning Kun, the prefect of Jinyang? He is very courageous. The Jinyang prefecture secretly built dungeons, abused lynchings, and neglected human lives." Xu Youxi counted a few, "There should be more than that. Prefect Ning probably has a lot of secrets."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been wronged."

"What's wrong with you, you'd better spare some energy and cry for mercy." Xu Youxi blocked back directly, "Qin Zhuangshu, you set off immediately and hand over all these people to Dali Temple, as well as the evidence of torture tools found in the dungeon just now. , send it all over.”

"Also, remember to tell Li Shangyun that I will give him ten days at most, and I must investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Your servant obeys the decree!" Qin Zhuangshu received the decree while half kneeling.

After watching a few people leave, Xu Youxi bought a copy of [Healing Water] in the mall, and used it for the 'business wizard' he just rescued.

[Healing water: it is an external item, suitable for all kinds of comatose people.How to use: Sprinkle with water]

It wasn't until noon the next day that the man woke up by himself, and Jin Yiwei didn't know the name of this unlucky or lucky guy.

This person's name is Yang Zhuiyue.

　I thought I could change it at noon, but there was an accident at work. I was so busy that I almost missed my meal. I was making up things again at night, and my head was big.

　　There is another update, I will play it for you at 20 o'clock after I have dinner.
